    Scoliosis Bracing For Adults in Austin, Texas

    SpineCor scoliosis bracing  provides adults with the pain relief and spinal stability they need. SpineCor was created to alleviate pain and improve postural control for adult scoliosis patients. The research data tells us that adult scoliosis curvatures over 30 degrees in magnitude will continue to progress at a rate of 1 degree per year. While that doesn’t sound like a large number it does add up over the years. This is where the spinal stability provided by  SpineCor can have a huge impact for our adult scoliosis patients.

    Adult Scoliosis Treatment in Austin, Texas

    No adult scoliosis brace treatment is more effective. The SpineCor adult scoliosis brace targets pain relief by providing postural rehabilitation and spinal offloading. Idiopathic Scoliosis from childhood is carried over to adulthood and is known as Adult Idiopathic Scoliosis which represents 2% of adult scoliosis cases. Denovo Scoliosis which represents 6% of adult scoliosis cases is caused by the spinal degenerative processes, which results in spinal instability. Spinal instability can produce chronic pain due to the overloading of the spinal disc and spinal nerve irritation. Adults with scoliosis are successfully treated with the SpineCor Dynamic Scoliosis Brace which provides spinal stability thus reducing or eliminating their pain. The goal of adult scoliosis treatment is not to correct the curves but to strengthen the spine to halt further posture collapse and curve progression.  SpineCor provides postural re-education and neuromuscular activation in order to build up the muscles needed to strengthen and stabilize the spine and relieve pain caused by scoliosis. Think of SpineCor as band assisted scoliosis treatment exercises done for you!

    Rigid braces support the spine with 3 point pressure, they do not provide neuromuscular rehabilitation, however there are situations where a rigid scoliosis brace is an appropriate option for adults. When rigid bracing is needed, CMP braces can be used. CMP braces are the most advanced rigid scoliosis braces available and are an excellent option for neuro-muscular scoliosis caused by diseases such as CP and Parkinson’s disease.

    Often adults with scoliosis will also have degenerated and herniated discs which need to be addressed along with treating the structural and postural disorganization associated with scoliosis. Having multiple treatment options in these cases greatly enhances patient outcomes.
